Energy-Efficient Data Collection for Bluetooth-Based Sensor Networks

Overview A wide range of sensor network applications deals with an issue often referred to as data collection: sensor nodes periodically transmit data to a base station. The base station analyzes incoming data for interesting events. This paper introduces a novel Data Collection Protocol (DCP) for wireless sensor networks. DCP is tailored to Bluetooth-based sensor nodes and therefore enables sensor network applications based on inexpensive COTS-hardware. DCP is scalable, robust, and not limited to piconet or scatternet structures.

UPS invests $200m in global wireless push

Drivers will also be able to transmit parcel data directly into customers' systems when they make deliveries using Bluetooth and Wi-Fi technologies. Previously, scanners were connected to data collection devices by cables that proved easily breakable.

BT set to launch Bluephone

Bubley, though, thought it unlikely that concerns regarding all Bluephone calls being charged at mobile rates would be justified, although he believes it probable that incoming calls will be charged in this way.

Virtualisation: Architectual Considerations and other Evaluation Criteria

In the past several years, server virtualisation technology has moved quickly and firmly into the IT mainstream. Of the many approaches to system virtualisation available in the market today, VMware's hypervisor architecture has gained the greatest market acceptance. This paper examines the architectural issues, solution support, and enterprise readiness required when deploying such a virtualisation solution.
